RaspberryPI: Bringing a weatherstation online

I don’t think there is any need to explain what a RaspberryPI is? As simple but very cheap small computer. he size of a deck of cards and costing 30£. It is USB powered and provides among other ports an Ethernet port.
Well, my first use of one of the little devices is to capture the data from a cheap USB weather station (£50 at Maplin), format the data, generate some nice graphs and push it online to my website.

One Response to RaspberryPI: Bringing a weatherstation online

Dear Mike,
My brother, who works in a farm, has asked me to how to build a raspberry pi weather station.
How hard was it to get it up and running?
Before I agree to give him a hand, I think it would be good to know how much effort it takes.
Your project looks really need and very exciting.

What distro did you use? What is difficult to wire everything together?
Did you use a wifi dongo or did you have to set up a proper internet connection?

"Saying there appears to be some clotting is like saying there's a traffic jam ahead. Is it a ten-car pile up, or just a really slow bus in the center lane? And if it is a bus, is that bus thrombotic or embolic? I think I pushed the metaphor too far."
